Women voters set to play key role in 50 of 90 seats in C'garh
The Morning Standard
|November 20, 2023
CHHATTISGARH, besides known to have an impressive sex ratio compared to the national average, has also more women electorates than men. In the two-phase assembly polls, interestingly, the state witnessed participation of more women than men in exercising their right to franchise.
In as many as 50 assembly segments out of the ninety constituencies, more women than men turned out to cast votes. They outnumbered men by over 60 thousand in voting.
It is speculated that the women-centric proposed schemes by the political parties may have made a difference that led to a rise in women showing up at polling booths.
